Where did the name Hose Bib origenate from?
The term "hose bib" likely originated from the combination of "hose," which refers to a flexible tube used for conveying water, and "bib," which typically refers to a piece of clothing worn to protect the front of the body. Together, "hose bib" describes the outdoor water faucet with a threaded spout used to connect a garden hose for watering purposes.

How do you replace anti syphon valve on hose bib?
With the ones I've seen, they simply screw on to the bib just like a hose would. So you just unscrew the old one and screw on the new one. In Texas with homes built in the 1980's forward, you usually cannot remove just the anti syphon device because the commercial plumbers remove or break off the set screw that comes with the assembly that would allow for removal. I had to have a plumber remove the hose bib (simple process) and then replace it along with a new anti syphon valve. This put an end to the annoying dribbling of water. Cost me $65. I'll do it myself the next time as it is actually quite simple now that I know how to do it. I will install it with a syphon valve that I can remove.
